Hi Tim we got songs 1 4 & 9, she was due on stage at 9-15 but didn't arrive until 9-45 to late for today's nationals, deadline is 9-45pm, the guy from The Sun had his assistant in the photo pit, edit & send from his laptop on the fly, they held the presses for today's Sun;s double page coverage, really exciting stuff lol...

That Tinie Tempah was the hardest out of them all lol Smeggy. He had already jumped in the same part of the stage on the chorus earlier. So when he went to that spot again I focussed on him, set the body to live view, stretched as high as I could & as most GX20 / K20 owners know live view is not fast in hi speed mode, so well pleased to have nailed him top of the jump... )

As some of you maybe aware I was working the Radio 1 Big Weekend at Carlisle last weekend. I was one of the chosen photographers to photograph Lady GaGa just found three of my images being used on the Daily Mail website!!!!

Mine is the largest image & the following 2 underneath, fingers crossed it made the paper tomorrow. It was a great buzz to get to shoot Lady GaGa again, being published has made the whole weekend worthwhile.

Stage lighting was very nice, made for a BBC production so no LEDs to deal with, some dry ice now & again/

hahaha unfortunately we had to go in the pit together so we where waiting 30 minutes with everyone else lol... No tele needed in the end, everything was shot from pit. Only one contract all weekend & that was for GaGa which wasn't to bad considering latest contracts she has issued, even the Foo Fighters where hassle free. All in all a good weekend..

No I got called over for the interview then another tog ran past me & got on the last buggy seat before me...

No 1 Arctic Monkeys, didn't do Strokes was busy editing & uploading whilst they where on. The other stage was a good 15 minute walk from the press tent & didn't want to miss GaGa.

Apparently I am on the GaGa footage but haven't had chance to watch it yet...

Spent a wet & grey weekend up north in Carlisle for the Radio 1 weekend, the highlight of which was to shoot Lady GaGa, as these images are currently being syndicated I can't show them but here is the best of the rest.

The photocall shots we literally had just 20 seconds with the artist, truly stressful, ended up using TAV mode with the Metz flash on P-TTL seemed to work perfectly..

My longest lens is the 50-135mm I don't really have any experience of Nikon equipment & dont really want to be learning new equipment on the job.

Have just had a call from the beeb & they think it will be just GaGa & I will be allowed to shoot from crowd so may not be such a panic now....

I knew I would regret selling my TC I was planning to get a 1.4x TC.... typical eh...

All they list is the 300mm f/4 Enoch I don't think will be long enough but is always an option but I am running out of time...
